My Sunday
O sooner had The Listener printed my complaint about the very mixed nature of 1ZM’s orchestral hours, than that station gave me the lie direct by playing Beethoven’s Choral Symphony under the label "An Hour with the Philadelphia Orchestra." This was at 2 p.m. on a Sunday, in a session which always contains matters of interest, though it is not usually of such a homogeneous character as this one. The symphony finished a few minutes after 3.0, leaving listeners time for a quick cup of tea and a short turn round the garden before settling down to a Chopin concerto and a Brahms’ symphony from 1YA. Shortly after the evening meal 1ZM played a Mozart quartet, and then there was time to speculate about their "Hour with Beethoven" due at 9.0. Inevitably, one prophesied, it would contain "Adelaide," but with any luck one might hear Gieseking play the Fourth Piano Concerto. All of which came to pass. And so to bed. It is now, happily, quite the general rule to have five major works from Auckland stations of a Sunday, and anyone who finds this. programme a little weighty must remember that complete rest from classical music is provided on Monday. |
